One common misconception regarding Pilates exercise is that it is only for women – this could not be further from the truth! Pilates was invented by a man (a bodybuilder no less!), and many male athletes swear by it, including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, members of the All Blacks Rugby Team, Andy Murray…. Pilates is great for sportsmen and athletes! Converted yet? While women tend to dominate the Pilates mat today, more and more men are also starting to take advantage of its many benefits. Some of these benefits are as follows:
  • Improve your sports performance! Pilates Exercise can help take your game to the next level. Core strength, flexibility, balance, and efficient movement are all are part of Pilates training and highly relevant to men's fitness.
  • Pilates focuses on the whole body and can help you develop often neglected muscle groups.
  • Pilates' focus on stretching helps prevent injuries and muscle strains- also improving your range of motion.
  • Live life to the fullest! Pilates works toward functional fitness- the ability to have the strength, balance, and flexibility required to complete everyday daily tasks.

  • Refresh  mind and body both by focusing on your breathing while working through each movement.. In Pilates, controlled, well-aligned movement is the ticket to a deeper level of fitness.
  • Posture – this is important for all people regardless of sex. Pilates is founded on healthy movement principles for the human body in general.
